Speaking at Dhaka Medical College about the condition of Nurul Haque Nur, GOP leader Rashed Khan said Nur suffered fractures to his nose and jaw, with additional injuries to his head and gums. Doctors advised extended hospitalization, but Nur insisted on receiving treatment in Bangladesh instead of abroad.
Rashed questioned whether there was pressure on the Chief Adviser to prevent sending Nur overseas.
He criticized the lack of action against the army despite video evidence of the attack and complained that the investigation commission had not formally contacted them.
Rashed warned: “Within 48 hours, we will announce a program that will corner the government. It could be a siege of the Jamuna Bridge or the Secretariat. The Home Affairs Adviser must resign.”

BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has accused Dhaka University authorities of rigging the DUCSU and JUCSU elections in favor of a specific organization.
He alleged the Vice-Chancellor deliberately orchestrated “a monopoly outcome” with backing from government allies, citing ballot papers being printed by a firm linked to one political group.
Rizvi further claimed that many ruling Awami League activists involved in repression were now joining Jamaat, raising fears of a “deep blueprint” to suppress nationalist forces. He warned that the growing influence of such forces posed risks to both democracy and religious communities, while accusing sections of the government of actively patronizing Jamaat.

The National Consensus Commission has held multiple rounds of talks with political parties to implement the July Charter, but differences remain. NCP Convenor Nahid Islam earlier said his party would only contest elections if the July Charter is enforced.
Commission Member-Secretary Akhtar Hossain stated that while most parties supported proportional representation in the upper house, BNP and a few others opposed it. Out of 20 agenda points in the second round, BNP issued notes of dissent on seven.
“BNP’s goodwill could make immediate implementation possible. Blocking it would be a betrayal of the nation,” Akhtar warned. He stressed that all constitution-related points agreed upon must be included in the new constitution, otherwise “street action will follow with all parties united.”
Senior leader Ariful Islam Adib added that only a Constituent Assembly election can provide durability to the July Charter, but accused BNP of reducing it to a political compromise while keeping the old structure intact.

Leaders and activists from BNP, Jamaat, and the All-Party Combined Committee enforced sit-ins and protests on Sunday across all government offices in Bagerhat district and its upazilas, demanding the reinstatement of the district’s four parliamentary seats.
From morning, protesters besieged the Deputy Commissioner’s office, Election Commission office, and other government institutions, shutting down administrative activities. Demonstrators announced a series of programs: a dawn-to-dusk strike across the district on Monday, half-day strikes and highway blockades on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Identical protests were observed in all nine upazilas, where activists occupied spaces in front of UNO and election offices. The program is set to continue until 5 PM.

Jatiya Party Secretary General ABM Ruhul Amin Hawlader has criticized party chief GM Quader’s political record, saying:
“GM Quader has never spent a single day in jail and has never been able to lead major rallies or mass movements.”

Hawlader stressed that recent events—the July uprising and the DUCSU and JUCSU elections—hold important lessons for political parties:
“If politics is driven by arrogance, vengeance, and hostility, downfall is inevitable. To win people’s hearts, politics must be about love, humility, and national welfare.”

He declared that despite 35 years out of state power, Jatiya Party has endured repression but remains committed to its symbol, the plough, which “will stay in the hands of the elected leadership, now under Chairman Anisul Islam Mahmud.”

Islami Chhatra Shibir’s central president Zahidul Islam hailed the JUCSU election results as a triumph for students, drawing parallels with Dhaka University’s outcome.

In a statement, he wrote:
“Alhamdulillah. This victory is purely by the grace of the Almighty. On a campus where being identified with Shibir once meant a death sentence, today’s result is historic. We will not hold any celebratory processions across the country—our gratitude will be expressed only in prostration before Allah.”

Zahidul added, “We hold no grudges against anyone. We seek forgiveness for our own mistakes and those of our allied organizations. Let humility be our pride, and generosity our ornament. Jahangirnagar University should stand as a beacon of harmony, and our beloved motherland, Bangladesh, must belong equally to all.”

The Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) election results were declared in a charged atmosphere as the Senate building premises echoed with slogans such as “Justice for Killer Hasina” and “Justice for Shahbagh.”
Similar chants had erupted during the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) election results announcement in the past.

After 33 years, the JUCSU election saw the Islami Chhatra Shibir-backed coalition “Combined Student Alliance” secure a majority of positions, including the General Secretary (GS) and two Assistant GS posts.

VP: Independent candidate Abdur Rashid (Jitu)

GS: Md. Mazharul Islam (Shibir-backed) – 3,930 votes

AGS (Male): Ferdous Al Hasan (Shibir-backed) – 2,358 votes

AGS (Female): Ayesha Siddika Meghla (Shibir-backed) – 3,402 votes

In total, the coalition won 20 posts, consolidating its influence in the long-anticipated student body polls.

BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir have expressed deep grief over the passing of legendary singer Farida Parveen.
They described her as the “living voice of Lalon songs,” whose renditions carried not just melody but also messages of humanity, equality, love, and truth.
“With her death, the nation has lost a towering artist, and Bangla music has lost an irreplaceable voice,” their statement said. They extended heartfelt condolences to her family, the cultural community, and her countless admirers.

Padma Bridge South Police Station’s Officer-in-Charge (OC) Parvez Ahmed Selim has been removed from his post after hosting a banquet attended by a local Jubo League leader in Shariatpur’s Jajira.
According to reports, the police station had organized its monthly feast on Friday afternoon, where OC Selim invited Moktar Bepari, president of Naodoba Union Jubo League. The invitation sparked criticism.
Following the backlash, Bepari was arrested Friday night on charges of involvement with anti-discrimination student protests and presented before the court on Saturday. OC Selim has since been transferred to the police lines.

Adviser Fauzul Kabir Khan has stated that even if the Awami League remains banned, its supporters still retain their constitutional right to vote. “No one can dictate which party they will vote for,” he stressed.
Khan reiterated that the interim government has no political affiliation and will ensure a free, fair, and neutral election. He warned that no government official will be allowed to take sides: “If anyone does, strict action will be taken immediately.”
He added that regardless of which party wins, civil servants must work under the elected government. Reflecting on the 2018 polls, he said: “That was a ‘Lailatul election’—but now the situation is different.”
On other issues, Khan confirmed that there is no electricity crisis at present, though some industries face gas shortages, which will be resolved. He also acknowledged public inconvenience due to construction of the Dhaka–Ashulia Elevated Expressway but said: “Temporary hardships for development are nothing.”

Bangladesh Chhatra Dal leader Sheikh Tanvir Bari Hamim has vowed that his organization will not allow an “unjust PR system” to undermine the upcoming national election.

In a statement, he invoked the sacrifice of Abu Sayeed, saying, “Just as Abu Sayeed laid down his life with open arms for a democratic Bangladesh, patriotic students of Chhatra Dal will also shed blood if necessary—but they will not let the election be derailed under the guise of an unfair PR arrangement.”

Hamim also criticized Barrister Fuad, accusing him of echoing Awami League rhetoric. “When Barrister Fuad insulted our activists by calling them junkies, it reminded me of the slander once directed at Abu Sayeed. He should take a lesson from Tolstoy’s story ‘How Much Land Does a Man Need?’—despite their degrees from abroad, some fail to grasp the limits of arrogance.”

Senior BNP leader M. Ruhul Quddus Talukdar Dulu has announced that Natore residents will receive household gas connections within two months if his party wins the upcoming national election.

Speaking at a local event, he stressed the urgent need for a medical college hospital in Natore, saying, “Without quality healthcare, ordinary people suffer, and broader development is also hampered.”

Jamaat leader Abdul Hakim echoed the call for regional development, urging the establishment of an agricultural research institute and an agro-industrial EPZ in the food basket region of Chalan Beel.

Meanwhile, Professor Jargis Kadir, an NCP candidate from Natore-3, criticized past governments, claiming, “Under Delhi’s influence, the backbone of our education system was destroyed. To ensure quality education, we must build strong institutions.”

Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has extended warm congratulations to all participants in the Jahangirnagar University Central Students’ Union (JUCSU) and hall union elections, with special praise for those who secured leadership positions.

In a statement, he wrote: “Congratulations to everyone who contested the elections. Special felicitations to those who earned the highest votes and were elected to various posts.”

Expressing optimism about the newly elected representatives, he added: “We hope they will give the utmost importance to safeguarding the trust placed in them by the student community. May Almighty Allah assist them in this responsibility.”

Dr. Rahman also thanked the university administration, election commission, and all others involved in conducting the polls. He praised the government and law enforcement agencies for their sincerity and dedication in ensuring a smooth electoral process.

Looking ahead, the Jamaat chief expressed hope for collective progress: “We expect that students, teachers, and the administration of Jahangirnagar University will work together to elevate the institution to the standards we all aspire to.”

NCP leader Hasnat Abdullah has urged young people to discover their true passions and pursue them with confidence, rather than being forced into careers dictated by societal pressure.

Speaking at a reception program for university aspirants, Abdullah emphasized that not everyone needs to study at a university or secure top grades to succeed in life. “Each person has their own path to success,” he said.

He pointed out that a lack of interest in academics is not a crime, but failing to be a good human being is unacceptable. “Some excel in cooking, others in painting or singing—these too can become professions. What matters is identifying your skills and interests,” Abdullah noted, warning that imposed education and career choices often destroy potential.

Highlighting the importance of empathy and ethical living, he added: “Whatever we become—doctor, engineer, artist, or anything else—we must at least ensure that no one suffers because of us. Even if we cannot help others, we must never cause harm.”

Abdullah further stressed the need for prayer and patience in achieving goals. “True success comes only through these two strengths,” he concluded.

BNP leader Gayeshwar Chandra Roy has warned that while fascism has been removed, communal violence is rising due to mob incidents across the country. He emphasized that unless democracy guides governance, communalism could surpass fascism in destructiveness.
Roy affirmed BNP’s belief in religious values, stating: “What religion condemns as sin, the modern state defines as crime. Religion does not conflict with the state system, but misinterpretations have distorted it.” He accused the interim government of sliding into superstition under the guise of reforms.
